Squatters Building Their Shantics All

Squatters Building Their Shantics All
Along the Mile Tract. -,
FARGO, Oct. There is growing and
widespread alarm over the effect of the
late decision of the land department in
regard to the Northern Pacific indemnity
lands. 1t is understood to effect the
greater part of the strip of ten miles out
side of the forty miles each side of the
road, from the Red to the Missouri river
In these two ten-mile strips are many of
the largest farms and quite number of
towns-La Moure, Buxton, part of Wah-
peton, etc. The railroad company has
sold about all of these lands for small
figures, and most of them have multiplied
the purchase figures in value many times.
The Grandin and other bonanza farms
are among them. The road gobbled them
up without much regard to the law, and
they passed, to greater extent perhaps
than any other lands, into the hands of
spectators. They are now declared in
the market and open for homesteaders
and to pre-empt next month squatters are
locating all over the best part of them.
1t is said that in Trail county there is
hardly a quarter of the ten miles along
the Manitoba that some one is not put
ing a shanty upon, and the men who
bought and cultivated them are full Of
alarm and apprehension. The road can
only recompense them to the amount of
the purchase money, which is but small
part of the present value. The towns in
the limit also are becoming alarmed, as
the titles to their lots are involved. tits
believed that it will become matter of
much public concern, and perhaps re-
quire action by congress 1t is alleged
that the land office is simply enforcing
the law

Look For Th.mtA,k For Them,


The first time you are in O drug store, look
for st. Patrick's Pills, ask for them, buy
them, they are decidedly the most pleasant
physic and the best family medicine ever
brought into general use. 3
+ The recent press dispatches reporting
Asiatic Cholera at Detroit, Mich. calls to
mind the epidemic of malignant dysen terry,
called cholera. at Center Point, Iowa, in
1879. Within a few weeks over forty per-
sons died from IL. The principal druggist OF
the town, Mr., George b. Dunbar, who is
in business there. sold Que hundred and
eight ffifty-cent bottles OF Chamberlain
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhm Remedy, during,
the epidemic. and states that to the best OF
his knowledge, IL did not fail In a single
instance. The local paper published there,
said the same. and spoke of IL in the highest
terms che Remedy was used in fully 500
cases, and not 70 fail In a single Instance, is
certainly remarkable, when so many died
who We're treated by physicians. or used
other medicines. The scourge was un-

JOHN p RFA.

. WIN T. nHA. gan TO form at the SJ.
Louis depot, and when the train rolled in
the organizations were all in readiness.
COMMUNICATIVE Chief of the G.. A. r. Rea
was welcomed on alighting from the
train by Chief Marshal West and his
aides and escorted to the carriage in wait
ing. The procession then started for
the exposition building where Lib
GRATIS band was awaiting the ar
rival of the distinguished guest of
the evening at the main entrance, and q
notable gathering of the most famous
and solid men of the city and state were
taking their places on the platform al
lotted to the speakers. ... 81. p .....
1t was few minutes past O'Clock
when the Liberati band commenced TO
play, "See, the Conquering Hero Comes, "
and the procession started through the
building. The reception of Judge Rea
on the platform was the signal for such
an enthusiastic ovation that the like of
it has never been seen before in the city.
Men went wild, hats were thrown into
the air, cheer after cheer resounded and
tables and chairs were jumped upon
while the enthusiasm lasted. When it
had partly subsidized Junior Vice Com
mander Eye, who was master of ceremon-
les, introduced Mayor A. A. Ames,
who in a few well chosen
words cordially welcomed the
distinguished gentleman home. Judge
Rea responded. He credited his
election to the fact of his not being pol
itician, thanked the city for the great in
terest they had taken, and in conclusion
he quoted the language of Hannibal
Hamlin, the friend and counselor of Lin
coin: 'There never was greater organ
ization in the world than the Grand Army
of the Republic" and he, Judge Rea,
wished to say that this grand honor
thrust upon him was TO do honor to Min
nesota, because he was told by a good
many that there might be more money
spent in st. Louis, there might be more
lavishness of display, but when their
meeting was held here three years ago
they had not forgotten how Minnesota
had opened her big heart to greet them;
they had never forgotten it, and they
were bound through him, to do this
grand golden grained state honor.

the trustees have anything to say in
the matter. They have come ost
squarely and taken their position ua-
fiinchingly, and for this at least are
to be commended. A Miss Murphy,
in every way competent to teach the
school, applied for the position, and
everything proved satisfactory. But
Murphy is an Irish name and mostly
all the Irish are Catholics. so the
board. instructed . Its secretary to
write to Miss Murphy asking her if
she was 'Romanist.' The secre'
tary, William Anderson by name,
accordingly sent Miss Murphy the
following letter: .' -Hf 49,. $50. "
"Thp school board met last night
and concluded to give you the school
at S35. provided you are not a Roman
Catholic. There are prejudices in
the district which would make it un.
pleg SAINT for teacher, of that relig.
ion to be stationed here It would
make no difference to me, but the
other members thought it wise not
to have "A Catholic as they think
your name would Indicate" ~ <@'' 49,"
Miss Murphy being a Catholic, of
course declined to sacrlfise her relig.
ion to the 'prejudices of the district
and lost the position in consequence.
1t is to be hoped that the Melrose

lies in general and the action OF

While the action of the dis
trict in question is very narrow and
unwise, yet it does not involve the
principle of excluding sectarian in
struction from the public school
but on the contrary shows an undue
claim that such instruction might
be introduced. The refusal to EN-.
ploy this teacher is undoubtedly due
to the feeling that the church of
which Miss Murphy is member is
not particularly friendly to the pub
lie school system, and that she might
be influenced in her duties by the
fact. The Melrose trouble empha.
sized the alarm to which the Wash

of the greatest annoyances he has to

the employment of teachers closely

Another evil is the employment of
